A good way to make your own personal faux wax seals is with Crayola Model Magic.
Simply, roll out a small ball of the clay.
Then, imprint this ball with a small rubber stamp or a brass seal.
Rubber stamps dipped in acid free ink can be used to create various embellishments. Rubber stamps can be used to create cute images for children's and grandparents scrapbooks.
They can also be simple flowers or leaves to create elegant looks for gift scrapbooks.
Stickers are fun and easy to stick to scrapbook pages. Stickers can be used for captions, thought bubbles, to hide mistakes, or as embellishments.
Stickers of your child's favorite cartoon or television program can add a personal accent to your scrapbook page.
Another important writing implement for scrapbooking is a wax pencil. Wax pencils are soft pencils designed to write on glass, plastic and photographs. These pencils are easy to draw with and can be used to color in portions of lettering, in borders, or to create accents.
